Article Synopsis
  • Previous studies suggested that blood donors may have lower mortality risks, potentially due to the "healthy donor effect," which can lead to selection bias if not properly controlled.
  • This study analyzed data from the Sax Institute's 45 and Up Study to compare regular high-frequency blood donors (donating at least twice a year) with low-frequency donors over a 7-year period, using advanced statistical methods to reduce confounding factors.
  • Results showed no significant difference in mortality between regular high-frequency and low-frequency donors, indicating that frequent blood donation does not correlate with lower all-cause mortality when bias is minimized.
